I managed to get just sick enough to where I wasn’t able to focus on work but I was able to play through a backlog of something like 23 impromptu Steam sale games - and I had no missed keypresses, nor did I experience even the slightest connection lag throughout. The Azoth is quick, responsive, and reliable while gaming, whether you’re plugged into your PC or connected wirelessly. Its specs are in line with other top-of-the-line wireless gaming keyboards: n-key rollover, a 1,000 Hz polling rate, tri-mode connectivity with low-latency 2.4GHz wireless, and fully programmable keys with on-the-fly macro recording. The NX Reds were a little too light and hollow-feeling for me, so I swapped them out for clicky Kailh Box White switches using Asus’ included keycap puller and switch remover.ĭon’t let the Azoth’s enthusiast-level typing experience fool you, though - this is still a gaming keyboard, through and through. The NX Reds have a 40g actuation force and a 1.8mm actuation point, making them slightly lighter and shorter than the popular Cherry MX Red linear switches (45g actuation force, 2mm actuation point). Our review model came with Asus’ ROG NX Red (linear) switches, which feature straight, smooth keypresses with no tactile bump or audible click (the Azoth can also be purchased with NX Brown (tactile) or NX Blue (clicky) switches. Typing on the Azoth also feels next-level the gasket mount design offers just enough flex for comfort, but not so much as to be overwhelming. All he said was that it sounded “good,” and “better than whatever you were using before,” but that’s pretty high praise - he normally only ever mentions how my keyboards sound when asking snarky questions like “did you get some sort of aftermarket keyboard mod equivalent to a muffler delete” or “is this auditory revenge on the neighbor who asked if ‘writer’ was a euphemism for ‘unemployed’?” That’s not to say that premium mainstream gaming keyboards such as Razer’s Huntsman V2 or SteelSeries’ Apex Pro TKL sound terrible - but the Azoth is on a different level.Įven my husband commented on how the Azoth sounded. The ROG Azoth sports a gasket mount design - silicone gaskets cushion the PCB, while three layers of dampening foam and silicone absorb echo and case ping, resulting in a keyboard that sounds excellent, especially for a mainstream gaming keyboard.
